Use wire nuts to connect a piece of wire to the support wire in the hose to cross junctions and you've got it whipped. You might lose an inch or so of length to strip it back on each end, but it should work fine. Just be sure to ground the wire somewhere along the length or at one end.

Good durable hose but its advertised as a 10' length, no matter how hard I try to stretch it, it only measures 9' long then shrinks back some so you have less than 9' of usable hose. If it were only a couple of inches short not a big deal, but over a foot short it is a big deal.

I bought 2 flexible hoses #22784 and the screw end hose adaptors 42255. When I tried to assemble the adaptors to the hose, I found out that the hose has a right-hand wire wrap wheras the adaptors have a left-hand wire wrap. So now I have hose and adaptors that won't assemble. ow I have 20' of hose and adaptors that I cannot find any screw-end hose adaptors that assemble on to right-hand screwed hose. Buyer beware, don't buy the clear hose 22784 unless you are confident that you have fittings that will work with a right-hand wire winding.

Replaced my shorter and worn out Craftsman hose. Would rate a 5 if it were threaded the other way. Small wire clamps hold it on the Sears couplers just fine. I inserted a piece of stranded 16 ga copper wire into the end of the hose making contact with the reinforcing wire, and attached the other end to a screw on the shop vac. No more annoying shocks while vacuuming. Sale price makes it even more attractive.

I purchased the same hose from Rockler about three years ago, it was much more flexibal and that is why I came back to Rockler for the second hose. In my opinion it is not the same hose. Very disappointed.

I have this on drops for my bandsaw, 2 drops on my router table, and a drop on my spindle sander and it does all it is supposed to do with no problem. You can use the very hard spring wire inside the hose as a conductor in your grounding system and I recommend using the metal blast gates. I have seen the same type hose in industry up to 8 or 10 inch so it is top quality in my most humble opinion. Not sure why some people hit items so hard just because it does not fit their wants/needs.

I took my 10-Ft hose out of the short box it came in, and slid one end over the garage door overhead track to just let it expand. When I finally noticed it again, the opposite end was resting on the concrete floor. I shoved the hose a little more on the overhead arm, just to see If it will stretch a little more. I read a previous post of hose only being 9-foot 1-inch. I haven't stretched the opposite end yet, but I'm sure it will be plenty long enough for me. I might have to cut into two pieces, which I could use. Great hose, this is my second order on this vacuums hose.

The clear flexible hose is excellent. I also have the black hose and don't like it as much. Once the clear hose is stretched out, it remains that way. The black hose tends to recoil and causes tension on the connections.

I tried the hose that collapsed more, but it was heavy and when I tried to use a narrow nozzle the shop vac sucked the hose back to its minimum length. This hose is flexible enough to be convenient but lighter in weight and stiff enough to retain its length even when using a narrow nozzle.

The quality is good, metal reinforced and plastic is of good gauge. The ID is a little undersized and in one case I had to grind down the fitting to make it possible to "force" it on and the fitting was a Rockler supplied fitting, in other cases I used Vaseline and a screwdriver to expand and kind of twisted it on to the fittingntil seated properlyOnce you get it onto the fitting are OK

Use it to connect to fence dust port & the other end to a 21/2 wye fitting that is 4 inch on the other 2 openings that is connected to a dust collection box under my router lift via a 90 degree elbow on one end & my shop dust collector on the other end. it saves a lot of time cleaning what used to go all over the floor.

This is a good quality hose. If anyone is debating clear or trying to save a few bucks with the black hose, I'd recommend spending a little more and getting the clear hose. Seeing where there are clogs really is helpful.

I have connected a jointer, table saw, miter saw, and router table with the hose and fittings. Each machine has a gate on its hose. The hose feeds into a dust deputy with suction from a shop vac. Dust in the shop is much less of a problem than without the system.

I have these hoses hooked to each of my woodworking machines ... except my portable belt sander. They work great because sometimes a chunk of wood or tape gets stuck in the dust removal system ... then ... I can immediately see where the clog occurred.

Very nice flex hose. It stays flexible in cold, unheated shops. One issue i had, the spiral wrap is opposite direction of most end fittings like the ones on the end of most shop vac hoses. You either have to buy Rockler end fittings or come up with your own. Perhaps some 2 inch pvc and hose clamps. Worked for me.
